I actually never use the pretty printer even though I definitely
understand those who use it like Herbert described. This is of course
highly individual, but I tend to "care" too much :) (I wish I wouldn't
because I am probably wasting time doing manual formatting) about how my
code is formatted and don't like the results from the current pretty
printers.

I also can not claim any clear rules - I do it differently depending on
lots of factors - the example mentioned could be formatted differently
depending on length of statements and length of selectors/number of
keywords.

If we had a much smarter pretty printer I might perhaps use it.
